A 'popular and valued' firefighter died after falling over railings into a river after a work night out in what a coroner has ruled was a tragic accident.
Daniel Lee, 41, known as Dan, from Salford, who had been out in the city centre with colleagues from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) vanished after leaving Mojos bar in the early hours of Monday, August 22 last year sparking a frantic search.
His body was very sadly discovered in the River Irwell by a passer-by three days later. An inquest into his death was heard at Manchester West Coroner's Court in Bolton last week.
